With a medium flex and a forgiving overall feel, it suits everything from first seasons on snow through to confident riders who prefer a binding that stays relaxed and approachable. The focus here is consistency and control without overcomplication, making the Metta a reliable choice for riders who want to enjoy the whole mountain without fighting their setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Metta uses a uni-body chassis paired with a medium response Flex Control Drive Plate to create a stable but forgiving platform underfoot. A nylon highback provides supportive structure without feeling restrictive, while the canted footbed and integrated heel shock pad help manage impact and maintain balance through variable terrain. Bent Metal’s Power Flex ankle strap is tuned for comfort and even pressure distribution, matched with a Light Form toe strap that adapts easily across different boot shapes.

Founded in the mid-2000s by engineers and lifelong snowboarders, Bent Metal was created with a singular focus on bindings as a performance-critical part of a snowboard setup, not an afterthought. Every product is designed and tested with real riding in mind, backed by decades of experience in snowboard manufacturing and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"1088\"\u003eKnown for its no-nonsense approach, Bent Metal blends functional design with deep ties to core snowboarding through long-standing relationships with riders, artists, and Mervin’s competition heritage. The result is a binding line built to last, built to be ridden hard, and built by people who understand how snowboard equipment actually gets used on the hill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BENT METAL","offers":[{"title":"BLACK \/ S\/M","offer_id":42823319486527,"sku":null,"price":369.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BLACK \/ M\/L","offer_id":42823319519295,"sku":null,"price":369.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHITE \/ S\/M","offer_id":42823319552063,"sku":null,"price":369.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHITE \/ M\/L","offer_id":42823319584831,"sku":null,"price":369.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"YELLOW \/ S\/M","offer_id":43492715266111,"sku":null,"price":369.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"YELLOW \/ M\/L","offer_id":43492715298879,"sku":null,"price":369.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/8102\/files\/2025-2026-bent-metal-bindings-metta-binding-white-back.webp?v=1770261930","url":"https:\/\/www.ballistyx.com.au\/products\/bent-metal-metta-2526","provider":"Ballistyx","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
